Al-Makura, Lolo, Agara Emerge Candidates For APC National Chairman As President Tinubu Set To Appoint Kyari Minister

Following the resignation of Adamu Abdullahi and Iyiola Omisore as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), respectively, political bigwigs have begun moves to replace them.

Naija News reports that Abubakar Kyari, the party’s Deputy Chairman (North), has taken over as the Acting National Chairman until a new party head is elected at a yet-to-be-fixed Convention.

Speaking to The PUNCH, a source disclosed that several names, which include former governors and heavyweights in the North-Central and South-West, are currently being considered to replace both Adamu and Omisore.

Speaking on a possible replacement for the post of substantive national chairman, the source fingered former governor of Nasarawa State, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura; former governor of Niger State, Abu Lolo; former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Silas Ali Agara, and a former governor of Plateau State.

He, however, expressed strong conviction that Lolo may not be given the opportunity because he lacked the capacity to ‘properly manage people.’
